Remember his promise of mercy

In her Magnificat, heard in today’s Gospel (Luke 1:39-56), the Blessed Virgin Mary says this about God:

...he has remembered his promise of mercy...

The mercy of God chose her as the mother of his Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The mercy of God and the grace of Christ preserved her from sin from the very beginning.

The mercy of God and the power of Christ’s resurrection brought her body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life.

May you and I always remember the promise of the mercy of God and the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
